Abstract
A bend lighting system has been developed for the purpose of reducing traffic accidents at night. A bend lighting system gives us better visibility. On the other hand, this system may cause discomfort glare because the illuminated direction of headlamps varies with the swivel angle. Thus, bend lighting system may need to be investigated for discomfort glare based on swivel angle change. Therefore, we measured the oncoming car driver's eye points from the direction illuminated by a bend lighting system on a public road. As a result, we found that a bend lighting system glare is equivalent to conventional headlamps glare.
